British Military Medals

Militaria collectors love their medals because of the history behind the individual to whom it was awarded. This book, by a highly-respected authority on the subject of medal collecting, is a fascinating and useful work that is compact enough to be used as a handy reference by novices who may want detail about a medal, whilst at a militaria fair. Experienced collectors will also find this a useful work and perhaps even derive some ideas for new additions to add to their collections. All the usual medals are listed but some rarities dating back to Britain’s involvement in 19th century India, make for a tantalising desire to own an example. Medals for campaigns and bravery are listed here along with examples for long-service. The author includes useful tips for research, which includes using the internet as a tool. This is a book meant to be used for the purpose for which it is intended.
